| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Architectural acoustic design for children from birth to age 5 has not been widely recognized in Japan and this research project aimed at 1) establishing acoustic design guidelines, 2) developing methodology of introducing acoustic design to people concerned with childcare, and 3) accumulating researches for improving acoustic quality in daycare facilities. Various research activities were performed in this project such as: a site inspection of facilities with advanced social framework (namely, Munich region in Germany with a legislation of acoustic design); workshop with acoustic researchers and childcare providers; acoustic simulation with a consideration of room shape and sound absorption; and development of a pedestal for reducing foot step noises. Moreover, an attempt of word intelligibility test for pre-school children revealed that 3 and 4 year old children could hear less words than elder group under noise and reverberation.
